If you’re considering renting an Equity Property, please know this — while Equity handed out«bonus checks» to their shareholders this year, Equity also: — refused to pay for the MONTHS we’ve lived in a hotel while our apartment has been contaminated with black mold; — allowed my neighbor’s plaster to fall from his ceiling for over a year due to a water leak; — refused to hire a professional to install another neighbor’s hallway carpet after a second flood, instead leaving it loose for almost a year; — fought a lawsuit for charging residents what has since been deemed illegal late fees. Why would you want to live in a property owned by a company that clearly prioritizes financially rewarding shareholders more than providing safe, quality housing for its tenants? Please learn more about Equity as a corporation. Review their Unilocal info for multiple properties(like 425 Mass in DC), and the BBB for their various named headquarters in Chicago(where their individual property complaints are also filed). I would never recommend Equity as a landlord for any reason to anyone. Trust me.
